Yet, here we have discussed few times features that help the creation of GUI toolkit (see as example the changes over C++ language done by QT).

Where low-level performance is important, and at the same time you need quite safe code, a language like ATS is an option, and it doesn't look a lot like C:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATS_%28programming_language%29
The ATS syntax looks very bad compared to C, but it's not bad if you keep into account how much you may use it to proof code. It's first of all a theorem proving language, that's often more efficient than C. It's for niche projects.

Thanks for the hint.
Are you also aware of Habit?
